Am I crazy or does this study just say men have bigger brains

Yes but women specialize more as per the diagram.

Men are to the right of women in all but 1 measure. This doesn't even support the men have higher variability thing it just says men are better on the whole? Idk i didn't read it

the women go higher up though which implies their neurons are denser in some specific part of the brain as per my lack of understanding of the subject

These are distributions no? Height just means more people at that level and it's the right shift that implies higher density. And men are all to the right

"higher up" on a graph means they're more tightly clustered around the mode. There's less variation among women

what? I thought the graph was brain volume and density. Women have smaller brains but one part of it is denser than in men which would suggest a specialization quality, for example color reception sensitivity.
